Editor

The series documents the events on New Caprica after the invasion by the
Cylons at the end of the second season. It shows the activities of the
resistance to Cylon occupation, and collaborators for the Cylons.

Trivia: Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance is an online series
that aims to fill in the gaps between seasons two and three of the
Re-imagined Series. The webisodes can be viewed through the official web
portal at Syfy.com. The webisode series was written by Battlestar
Galactica veterans Bradley Thompson and David Weddle, and directed by
Wayne Rose. The entire series is 27 minutes long in total, divided into
10 episodes. While the Webisodes are included in the Region 1 DVD boxset
of Season 3, they are not included in the Region 2 version. They are,
however, included on all Blu-ray releases. In particular, the Webisodes
chronicle Duck's and Jammer's motivations to become suicide-bomber and
collaborator, respectively.

Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance is the collective title of 10 two-
to five-minute “webisodes” (also known as a web series) released
exclusively on the world wide web through the Sci Fi Channel's website.
The serial storyline follows events that occur between the close of
season 2 and the beginning of season 3 of the re-imagined Battlestar
Galactica TV series. The first webisode was released on September 5,
2006, with two subsequent webisodes posted to the site each week through
October 5 to lead into the season 3 premiere. The original title of this
series was to be Battlestar Galactica: Crossroads but “Crossroads” was
later used as the title of the third-season finale instead. The series
was produced as a promotional event to promote Battlestar Galactica, and
as such generates no residuals for its writers. The WGA has called for
the boycott of all un-residualed webisodes by writers and producers
(though the WGA does not represent producers) from working on them. The
webisodes are only available for viewers from the United States, to the
dismay of many fans worldwide; the decision to restrict the webisodes to
the US has forced international fans to use peer-to-peer networks to get
content which is supposedly free. The webisodes were later reposted on
various free video hosting sites, such as YouTube but have since been
removed at “the request of copyright owner NBC Universal because its
content was used without permission”. In late 2006, with Australia's
Network Ten broadcasting of the third season of Battlestar Galactica on
Ten HD, The Resistance webisodes were made available to the Australian
public (Region 4) on the network's website but have since been taken
down. The webisodes were released on disc 2 of the Region 1 season three
DVD set, with the option to play each episode individually or all
together with title cards separating the chapters. The webisodes were
included in the Region 2 set (since 2014 edition) and in the Region 4
DVD set (Season 4, Part 1), and are present on all Blu-ray versions.
